Standing up in support of Jenner and our trans sisters and brothers. I’d like to share an article by the founder of Camp Aranu’tiq – Nicholas Teich. I met Nick two summers ago as a volunteer.

Where would we be today if slavery was determined a state issue? And today, being at the precipice of decision – I have good faith that state bans of same sex marriage will be deemed unconstitutional…And I frankly am not ready to entertain other options.Read more
